Thousands of books have been written about the latest and greatest diets that will help people lose weight and improve health. But a key element in any successful nutritional health program is a tried-and-true method that most people haven’t thought about—yet it could be revolutionary for taking health to the next level. This ancient secret is fasting.

Fasting is not about starving oneself. When done right, it’s an incredibly effective therapeutic approach that produces amazing results regardless of diet plan. In fact, Toronto-based nephrologist Dr. Jason Fung has used a variety of fasting protocols with more than 1,000 patients, with fantastic success. In The Complete Guide to Fasting, he has teamed up with international bestselling author and veteran health podcaster Jimmy Moore to explain what fasting is really about, why it’s so important, and how to fast in a way that improves health. Together, they make fasting as a therapeutic approach both practical and easy to understand.

The Complete Guide to Fastingexplains:

• why fasting is actually good for health • who can benefit from fasting (and who won’t) • the history of fasting • the various ways to fast: intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting • what to expect when starting to fast • how to track progress while fasting • the weight loss effects of fasting • how to ward off potential negative effects from fasting

The book also provides tools to help readers get started and get through their fasts, including a 7-Day Kick-Start Fasting Plan and healing liquid recipes.

I read this book as a followup to 'The Diabetes Code' written by the same author. I thought 'The Guide to Fasting' was easier to read and had a lot of the same information although not as detailed. The recipes in the back look taste and easy to prepare so I am looking forward to trying them out. I think this book is a must read.

Excellent book

This is an excellent book for anyone serious about their long term health, and weight loss if desired. A lot of people are skeptical about fasting but this really takes out the mystery and unfounded fear and explains it well. As someone who has practiced intermittent fasting for 3 years (and my husband for 1 year), and have seen very noticeable results in our health and weight, I recommend it for inspiration and encouragement. It has made a big difference to our determination to continue fasting as part of our life for always. Fasting is not a life of torture and deprivation and this book makes one understand this. It is a great help in our quest to age as healthily as possible.
